He deserved better 💙

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

Just crunched some numbers.

Turnout generally dropped nationwide. But battleground states had slightly *higher* turnout among eligible voters than 2020—and a smaller-than-avg swing towards Trump.

Wisconsin had the highest turnout rise in the nation: +1.3% of eligible voters.🧵

@MikeNellis @OrganizerMemes The Good Place here. But I'm guessing your comfort food needs more salt than that. :)

[Anderson Clayton☀️ @abreezeclayton]

I know folks are tired, but i ain’t gonna lie to anyone — funding year-round organizing is vital to our state party having the resources we need to keep building local power in 2025 for municipal races. please consider becoming a *sustaining* donor! ⬇️

Iraq is poised to lower the age of consent from age 19 to 9, allowing men to rape children. https://t.co/Y04ca4y304

Give @abreezeclayton and @NCDemParty their flowers

Kamala also outperformed Biden in NC, too—on what was a pretty bad night

[Ammar Moussa @ammarmufasa]

Hire them.

@parkerpbutler ran an incredible team

@laurenavakapp @ArlieShugaar and @niralogy are digital stars who understand marrying the internet with campaign message

[Ammar Moussa @ammarmufasa]

So proud to have worked for @KamalaHarris. She’s an inspiration and the toughest among us.

And I’m incredibly proud of the rapid response team at @KamalaHQ and across the states who were relentless, landed hits, and made Trump uncomfortable every day.

Best in the business.

Latest numbers: across the seven battleground states, the '20-'24 swing towards Trump was ~3.1 pts. Across the other 43 states (+DC), it was ~6.7 pts.

Bottom line: the Harris campaign swam impressively against some very strong underlying currents.

[Wisconsin Democrats @WisDems]

Our favorite senator— the hardest working senator from Wisconsin— has won re-election! Senator @TammyBaldwin, we are thrilled to have you continue to represent Wisconsin!

[Nick Walden Poublon @NWPinPDX]

Friends, I’m in the CLOSEST race in the Oregon House and I could not be more grateful.

[d888 @dsyPoli]

@RalstonReports Ah, Jon. Same time, in two years. 🫶🏼

[Jon Ralston @RalstonReports]

I also wanted to thank all of those who followed the early voting blog this cycle. It takes a lot of work crunching all that data, and it was nice to get all the feedback. I know some of you are having a one election stand with me and will unfollow. I will miss you.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Kamala Harris is an extraordinary partner and public servant.

She ran an inspiring campaign and everyone got to see something I respect so much in her – her character.

She gave her whole heart to the effort and she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign they ran.

[d888 @dsyPoli]

@shannonrwatts I was so disappointed by this, too.

[Neeharika @NeeharikaSimha]

A long time ago I picked up a camera… one thing led to another until everyday for the past 6 months I got to wake up and go to work for @KamalaHarris. A woman who believes in the promise of America. A woman who inspired me to show up as my best self.

The fight is never over.

[Brandon Richard @BrandonLRichard]

Democrats got a shellacking on Tuesday. It was the first worst performance, in terms of presidential electoral votes, the party has seen since 1988.

But Democrats turned in a strong performance in Colorado, retaining a supermajority in the state House and a near-supermajority in the state Senate. Coloradans also approved ballot measures to protect abortion rights and removed a state ban on same sex marriage.

And now, some progressives outside the state are wondering if national Democrats can take a page from Colorado.

Shad Murib @ShadMurib, the chair of the Colorado Democratic Party @coloradodems, told me it starts with listening to voters.

As we make ballot curing calls to win House races, we’ll also organize for the cause of our lives: health care.

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, our ever-expanding coalition has delivered, saved and strengthened health care — and must save it again for all Americans. -NP
